How to Upload a Custom Background Image on Twitter

Uploading a Custom Background Image on Twitter

First, you have to be on your settings page of twitter. To get to that page, click on your profile picture in the top right corner of your screen. When the drop down list appears, click on ‘settings’ near the bottom.

Twitter gives us a variety of options when it comes to designing the physical appearance of our accounts. The settings are meant for people to have fun with, as well as securing the information on their account. If you want to create a custom background image, you can do so as many times as you’d like.

1) First, you have to be on your settings page. To get to that page, click on your profile picture in the top right corner of your screen. When the drop down list appears, click on ‘settings’ near the bottom.

2) Scroll down through the list of tabs in the column on the left hand side of the settings page. When you reach the tab that says ‘design’, click on it.

3) Near the middle of this section, you will see a heading that says ‘customize your own.’ The first subheading underneath that is ‘background image.’

4) To the right of those words, you will see a button that says ‘change background.’ Click on it and a drop down list will appear. Click on the option that says ‘choose existing image.’

5) Next, a window will pop up that shows you all of your computer documents. Look through all your photos and select one that you like. Once you’ve chosen it, press ‘open.’

6) Now, you can decide if you want it to be a tile background by checking the box beside the words. Choose your background position, by clicking on the bubble next to the word left, center, or right.

7) Below that, you will see options for a background and theme color. Choose a color by clicking on the rectangle to the right of the words and select a new color.

8) After you’ve made all your decisions, press ‘save changes’ at the bottom of the page.
